    The OP ( ) was concerned with trackers using unrarred scene releases, not the scene. And that whole block of text you pasted stated that uploading a 700mb iso to an FTP server was a no-no. Well, we use the Bittorrent protocol on trackers, not FTP protocol.

    not all the time. rar is inefficient compression tool, and most sites are just trying to keep it in it's "original" format. (just look for yourself... many unpacked rar's are the same size or smaller than the rar'd version, particularly movies & tv shows) The main purpose seems to be so that the rar's can be checked for errors, but the bittorrent protocol does that itself, so rars are redundant and un-needed. It's basically just fanboys of the scene trying to keep thing the way they always have been.

    Agree, this would be awesome if it existed.

    RARs are the plague of internet media.

    It will never change though, it's only P2P that complain about RARs.

    Every tried racing a release with an autoscript from a seedbox, now imagine that on a nix box where you had to go in, unrar, create a new torrent, then upload to the site, you would be last in the race for releases and that wouldn't do for most sites.

    RARs are here to stay, no point bitching about it, just have to find the sites that don't do rars then
